+// miscVmspliceLen is the size of the tiny buffer vmsplice gathers into the

+// never blocks waiting for room, and we drain the read end afterwards anyway.
+const miscVmspliceLen = 16

+// miscBasic exercises the SAFE, UNPRIVILEGED members of the Misc syscall
+// family so the enter_/exit_ tracepoints fire end-to-end. Every call here is
+// read-only or self-contained: none mutate global host state, none require
+// elevated capabilities, and none can block.
+//
+//   - getcpu   reports the CPU/NUMA node the caller runs on (raw syscall; the
+//     unix package has no portable wrapper).
+//   - newuname (via unix.Uname) reads the kernel/host name strings.
+//   - sysinfo  (via unix.Sysinfo) reads memory/load/uptime counters.
+//   - vmsplice gathers a tiny in-memory buffer into a self-created pipe; we
+//     drain (and close) the pipe so it can never fill up or block.
+//   - alarm(0) cancels any pending SIGALRM and returns the previous value;
+//     passing 0 is harmless and arms no new timer (raw syscall; no wrapper).
+//
+// INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDED from this scenario (and documented here so the reasons
+// travel with the code):
+//   - acct, sethostname, setdomainname, syslog, fanotify_init, fanotify_mark:
+//     require CAP_SYS_ADMIN and/or mutate GLOBAL host state (hostname, kernel
+//     log, process accounting) — unsafe to invoke from a test workload.
+//   - ioperm, iopl, modify_ldt: require CAP_SYS_RAWIO and are x86-only port/LDT
+//     manipulation — privileged and non-portable.
+//   - file_getattr, file_setattr: only exist on Linux 6.13+, so may be absent
+//     on the kernels the integration suite runs against.
+//   - rseq, get_robust_list, set_robust_list: auto-managed by the Go/C runtime
+//     for restartable sequences and robust futexes; re-invoking them by hand
+//     would corrupt the runtime's own registration.
+//   - uprobe, uretprobe: probe-attach mechanisms, not user-callable syscalls.
